There are interpretations of the term related to completely different areas.For example, speakers in everyday life are called conventional speakers.The appropriateness of the use of the word thus depends on the context.
Speakers politics
There is however a political interpretation of the term: in modern democracies have parliamentary speakers (the higher representative bodies).In this sense the word is used, perhaps the most common.
within the government of different countries, however, the speakers have a substantially different powers.If, say, in Russia, people in this parliamentary positions can play a significant role in the hearing, the United States, as a rule, the speaker is not entitled to intervene in the discussion of legislative issues.
excursion to Parliament: Who is the vice-speaker?
Along with man, "moderates" of the meeting in the parliament, there is an official replacing him.Most often it is the official naming - "the vice-speaker."This is a man, as a rule, designed to replace the Chairman of the hearing due to the absence of the latter on the workplace.The procedure for his appointment could be enshrined in the charter of the municipality (in the case of the city parliament) and other types of laws.Functions of the vice-speaker may be approved by the deputies of representative bodies.Removal of that person from the duties could be due to systematic failure to perform them.This procedure is carried out at the suggestion of the actual speaker and discussed by Parliament.The range of issues that oversees the deputy chairman of the representative body of power, can be very broad.If it is a City Council speaker, it can be, for example, interaction with some parliamentary committees, the question of local significance.
technical interpretation of the term
As mentioned above, the speakers - it does not necessarily people.It may also be a device for audio playback.Species last set, and one of the main criteria for the classification of columns - size.Any equipment intended for installation in large concert halls, and there are devices known as "mini-speaker."What is it?Nothing more than a miniature speakers: the smaller it is, the more valuable its consumer properties.Very well, if the minimum amount of device sound quality does not suffer.Weight some speakers in this class may be about 100 grams.
Examples of such equipment in the consumer market, of course, there is.In a variety of online stores and centers for the sale of household appliances you can buy miniature speakers.This is not a deficit of - companies producing such devices set.Speakers convenient to take the city, in travel (including to international tours, sometimes important when every centimeter of the luggage bags).Modification of these devices are different - there is wireless, compatible with SD-card slot, there are those that are able to play MP3-files independently, without any additional equipment in the form of a computer or player.
Speaker that in the State Duma
The Russian federal parliament is also provided as Speaker.The person holding it presides in the lower house of the legislative authority.Speaker of the State Duma - is the person who called, first of all, to establish an inter-party dialogue and help colleagues to find compromises in addressing legislative issues.This suggests greater volume of official authority in Russia than, say, in the United States (about the features of the speakers of the Congress, we said a few words above).Or, for example, in the UK, where the chairman of the parliament - a (mostly) independent of any opinion whatsoever "moderator" hearings.
themselves representatives of the State Duma in media interviews indicate that among the tasks of the chairman of the lower house of parliament - the desire to justify the confidence of Deputies.In Russia, it is possible that the Speaker of the State Duma - the non-party people.It is quite rare for Western parliaments.The power system of developed countries speakers - is often ideological engagement patterns, dictated by party politics.There is a practice of sharing of responsibilities between the chairman of the State Duma and his deputies.

President may retire completely voluntarily.In some countries, in case of the above situations provided that the Head of State to temporarily replace the speaker of parliament.This right is enshrined, for example, in France.
